- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Well Paul, I hope you get to read this. I have been waiting excitedly for
- about ten days for Terman's book to arrive. I thought that maybe you were
- waiting for the check to clear, maybe mail transfer from Canada to the U.S. is
- slow, I just didn't know. But you know why the book never made it don't you?
- It's because you never got the money!!!
-
- I know this because I got the letter back today for INSUFFICIENT POSTAGE!
- It is postmarked Aug 9, 1994. Just another aspect of the U.S. snail.
-
- I will take the letter to the post office tomorrow to maKE sure that I get it r
- right this time. Also, sorry for posting here, but I have lost your e-mail
- address. I would really appreciate it if you would send it to me again...
-
- Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the mix up,
-

- In the SF Bay area an ATV repeater retransmits some of the flight(s) as
- time permits. One ATV/R output is on CABLE channel 58 and the other is
- om 2.4 Ghz.
-
- It can be done!
-
- Best of luck.

- Subject: FCC Exam Study Software
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Back when I was studying for my Tech ticket, I used a shareware software
- program (for MS-DOS) which contained the entire FCC exam pool and would
- create sample exams from the pool for the various elements. I think the
- program was called "HAMPOOLS", or something like that. I must have deleted
- the program because it's nowhere to be found on my disk, and in any event, I
- think the questions have changed since then.
-
- Does anyone know where I can obtain this program, or another shareware
- program like it, either via FTP on Internet or Fidonet FREQ? (I'd prefer a
- direct reply via email, but you can also post it to this newsgroup since I'm
- sure others would be interested, too.)
-
- 73!
